The World Cup is proof that if not for our leaders, the vast majority of the world's people would get along just fine.
this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

Brown University is home to George Orwell's original manuscript of 1984. Most of it is marked up heavily in Orwell's hand-writing but this untouched page caught my eye.
There's our big dying prune. There he is. Hair looking shittier than ever somehow, walking all decrepit, looking like a big old human shit. There he is kissing his mutants. Okay let's hear what new slurs he's come up with.
"'Just comply'... is the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't."

Steve Kerr on the murder of Renee Good: "It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."
AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.
masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.
Kelly Stuart@skyspider.bsky.social · 7mo agoThis is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.
senators have "urge" stuck in their mouths when they should "DEMAND" youre a fucking leader representing the people being shot dead by trump goons. DEMAND ice get the fuck out.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 7mo agoSen. Tina @smith.senate.gov, D-Minn., tells me the situation in MN is a “terrible tragedy” and calls on ICE to leave. “I've been in touch with the mayor and the governor, and also with the Dept of Homeland Security, urging them to get ICE off the street, which will help to keep things calm.”
Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.
Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
So in 2025 America has masked men armed with military grade equipment, stomping around cities and shooting Americans regularly. It feels like Congress gives zero shits about any of this. I hardly ever even hear them talk about ICE or CBP.
Any Democrat still afraid to say "Abolish ICE" should resign and be replaced with someone who gets it.
The secret lore of book and toy shop owners holds that it is good to have a "Hollywood snow" in early November so that people's Gift Brains turn on, and they start shopping. This year... we're just going to enjoy the flurries around our icicles, and do whatever we can to reduce others' stress. ❄️📚❤️
